"Oh, by all means!" we exclaimed, wondering in what way the bear was to be hunted. "Let us go." After an early breakfast, we set out on horseback, accompanied by several men on foot carrying long poles. Each of the young rancheroes had a long coil of rope round his saddle-bow, to which one end was fastened at the other was a running loop.
The moment the lance was withdrawn, he sprung up with his weapon in his hand, ready to fight on; but one of the rancheroes threw his lasso over his shoulders, and, with a jerk which, had it been round his neck, would have dislocated it, brought him again to the ground. "We will bring him along with us," said Captain Driscoll; "the poor wretch has shown great courage, and deserves to live.
We reached a wild, rugged country, with a few trees in the valleys, and numerous large rocks jutting out in the sides of the hills. "The rancheroes say that the bear's cave is not far off from here," observed one of our English friends. "We must be prepared for him. Keep by us and do as we do."
When he found that he could make no head against the two rancheroes, who were endeavouring to stop him, he turned round in a fit of fury and endeavoured to overtake them. Keeping their lassoes at full stretch, away they went before him; and if he stopped a moment to try to get rid of the nooses, they gave him a jerk which made him move on again.
